Relentless has the potential to stop all community safeguards
🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
The Supreme Court’s MAGA justices who took away our reproductive freedom, weakened voting rights, made it harder to combat the climate crisis, and made it more difficult to keep our communities safe from gun violence now have an opportunity to grab even more power.
On Wednesday, January 17, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce (with Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo). According to the Washington Post “For 40 years, courts have generally deferred to the judgment of federal agencies when it comes to turning laws passed by Congress into detailed regulations designed to protect the environment, consumers and the workplace.”1 These cases could allow partisan, corrupt, unelected and life-tenured justices to grant themselves even more power to change laws and regulations in pursuit of their wealthy benefactors’ agendas — weakening important benefits, services, and safeguards that our communities, freedoms, and democracy depend on.
It’s past time to stop this RELENTLESS power grab — we’re calling on Congress to act.
The Court’s decision in these cases could mean these justices, rather than elected officials and expert public servants, will decide whether:
🪙Seniors get Social Security benefits
🏗️Workers get basic safety protections
🥼Scientists can shape climate & drug rules
🏦Gov't works for us or their benefactors
It’s time for Congress to stand up to these powerful, out-of-control justices.

I believe in the power of the people. People Power United members believe in the possibility of change and work to make it happen. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
